a great feast!!

a dear friend called up and said that she had ordered some durians for my better half to celebrate his bithday.
to our surprise she sent along a Durian Connoisseur!
Uncle Sunny sat us down and explained to us the four types of durian he brought:
here on the right you can see Uncle Sunny opened the "golden phoenix", bitter sweet with drier texture.

then he introduced us to "tekka" - the bitter type, rich and creamy, it was very good!

after that, the "merah" which was also very bitter, creamy and buttery, it was my favorite! (on the right was golden phoenix)
he said he saved the best for last, "kunyit" with a rich yellow flesh, was more sweet then bitter.
what a way to make a perfect birthday bash!
